Tourism & Charters

Highland Helicopters provides a charter service around the lower South Island. Take in some of New Zealand’s most stunning scenery – such as Dunedin city’s dramatic coastline, the expanse of Central Otago, or the wilderness of the Catlins and Stewart Island.

Whether it be pleasure or business, talk to us about what you would like to experience and your timeframes (we can cater for multi-day charters) and we can tailor a package to suit.

Note that our Bell 206L-1 LongRanger is particularly quiet and comfortable, with Bose noise-cancelling headsets and leather club seating. It can seat six passengers (one alongside the pilot).

Stewart Island Experience

Stewart Island is a haven for native wildlife. Even a short walk close to Oban township will see you experiencing birdlife and bush scenery that compares to being deep within a New Zealand forest.

Take a boat cruise and catch your own fresh fare straight from the sea.

Highlands Motorsport Park

A short flight from Dunedin will see you at this world-class facility in Cromwell. At Highlands, there are multiple ways to experience the track at speed – including from inside a McLaren or Porsche.
Highlands is also home to the best outdoor go-cart circuit in the Southern Hemisphere.

Hunting

Highland Helicopters can fly you to your recreational hunting spots. Opportunities for free-range hunting for fallow deer, thar, chamois and red deer are available. We work with Dunedin Trophy Hunting to provide drop-offs into remote country or private free range blocks.
